한국 초등학생의 경제 이해력 수준 -수도권 4∼6학년을 대상으로-|RISS 상세보기

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The Council for Economic Education (CEE) revised and published the Basic Economics Test (BET) to measure the economic understanding of US students in grades 5 and 6 in 2010. With the introduction of a new curriculum in economics (say, social studies) in Korea, there was a need to measure economic understanding of Korean elementary students. This study analyzes the test results. A total of 1,554 students in grades 4-6 of Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, and Incheon participated in the testing. The means for the two forms of the test with 30 items were 15.73 and 14.27 points. Comparing with the test data of the US shows that Korean students scored more than US students. According to the classification by Bloom`s cognitive levels, the mean was lower for knowledge items than that for comprehension items. This result suggests that Korean students are weak in economic terms, for example opportunity cost, human capital, and incentives, that are not covered in the curriculum. Higher grade students, those who read more than 5 books a month, those with positive attitudes toward social studies, those who believe themselves to do well at school, and students in Gyeonggi-do tend to have higher test scores. But the effect of a student`s gender is ambiguous.
